Rieko is passionate about her culture, fine cuisine and healthy eating. In this workshop we will focus on healthy Japanese comfort food, learning the key cuisine elements of shape and form along the way through key food preparation and presentation techniques. We will make nikujaga, a hearty one-pot meal, miso soup and two vegetable dishes using produce we harvest on the day. We will also make the classic bonito flake and kelp stock, the base for many Japanese dishes. Revitalising green tea will finish off our meal.
